About this map

The tidal landscape of South Creek and its many winding tributaries defines this portion of the Beaufort coast. The area is characterized by an intricate network of guts and points, where settlements like Spring Creek and Campbell Creek sit among the wetlands. Evidence of the region's industrial and agricultural history is found in labels for Old Mill Point and Brick Mill Point, alongside the significant footprint of the T G Slimes Pond Number One and T G Clay Pond systems.

Local history and genealogy are centered around family landmarks and small community sites such as Mixon Cem and Reads Chapel. The coastline is heavily serrated with named features like Indian Island and Whitehurst Point, which have likely served as navigational markers and local landings for generations. This 2022 survey provides a contemporary look at these enduring geographic features and the rural road network connecting them.
